SAFETY INFORMATION & WARNINGS
When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions
must be followed in order to reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock and/or injury to persons or property. Be sure to read all
instructions before using this appliance and observe the
following safety tips:
Attention: Child Entrapment Risk!
To prevent the risk of child entrapment, do not allow children to operate,
play with, or crawl inside the unit. If the unit will not be used for an extended
period of time, remove the door and leave the shelves in place so that children
cannot crawl inside. Also remove the door when disposing of the unit.
Shock Hazard – Electrical Grounding Required
• Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the unit until the
electricity has been disconnected.
• Never remove the round grounding prong from the plug and never use a
two-prong grounding adaptor.
• Altering or cutting of power cord, removal of power cord, removal of power
plug, or direct wiring can cause serious injury, fire, loss of property and/or
life, and will void the warranty.
• Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.
• Avoid operating this beverage cooler in excessively moist or humid
environments.
Important Precautions:
• Do not lift unit by door handle.
• Never install or operate the unit behind closed doors.
• Failure to clean the condenser every six months can cause the unit to
malfunction.
• Allow unit temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before use.
• Do not block any internal fans.
• Keep the beverage cooler away from hazardous materials or
combustible/flammable substances.
• Use only genuine supplier’s replacement parts. Imitation parts can damage
the unit, affect its operation or performance, and may void the warranty.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand
upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility
of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
This beverage cooler is a freestanding unit and should not be built in to
surrounding cabinetry. Allow for proper air clearance around the cooler. The
recommended clearances are as follows:
Sides: ¾” (19 mm)
Top: 4” (100 mm)
Back: 2” (50 mm)
Before operating your beverage cooler for the first time, follow these steps:
1. Clean the interior surface of the unit with lukewarm water and a soft
cloth.
2. Place the cooler on a level surface that will be strong enough to
support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level your cooler, adjust the
front feet located at the bottom of the unit.
3. Install the cooler away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as
stoves, heaters, or radiators. Direct sunlight may affect the unit’s
acrylic coating, and nearby heat sources can increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold or hot ambient temperatures may also
prevent proper performance.
4. Once the cooler is plugged in, let the beverage cooler run for at least
30 minutes. Do not change the temperature or adjust any settings at
this time.
REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
1. To reverse the door swing of the unit, remove the plastic hinge cover at
top of the unit.
2. Unscrew the door hinge.
3. Flip door upside-down.
4. Attach door to opposite side of unit with screws.
5. Replace plastic door hinge cover.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
1. Thermostat
2. Light Switch
3. Led Light
Your beverage cooler can be set to your desired temperature. The unit’s
temperature range is 34°F to 64°F (1°C to 18°C).
The temperature scale runs from 1, the warmest setting, to 7, the coldest
setting. The 0 position is an OFF setting which can be used when the beverage
cooler is standing empty.
Avoid setting the thermostat too high or the beverage cooler may be unable to
achieve satisfactory cooling temperatures.
OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE
• To ensure maximum performance and efficiency, be sure to place your
beverage cooler in an area where there is proper air circulation. (See
installation instructions above for proper clearances.)
• For proper internal air circulation, do not overfill your beverage cooler.
When storing beverages, keep them away from the rear wall. To allow free
circulation of cold air, don’t pack beverages too tightly on the shelves.
• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
• Do not place heated beverages or food in your cooler.
• Do not store perishable food in your beverage cooler. The unit’s interior
temperature may not be low enough to prevent spoilage.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the beverage cooler.
